Whether you participate in #GivingTuesday, #GTMD2017, #GiveOutDay, or one of the many #GivingDays throughout the year, making the giving experience fun is key. I’ve got a few favorites that have stood out over the past few years. Be sure to share yours in the comments.

5 cool ways to thank and inspire more gifts throughout #givingdays

1. Identify a handful of key donors and do a drop in thanking mob!

The fun folks at College Possible chose to visit donor Lars Leafblad. They thanked him for his gift and both Lars and the organization posted the photo on social media.

The key: Lars happens to be one of the most socially connected people I know. So, of course I saw the post on his Facebook page, as did hundreds of others.

Who knows how much more giving the fun post inspired?!

2. Use fun count-down reminders! You don’t have to be a theater to have fun with your social media posts that create a sense of urgency.
